    Yikes. Glanced over the pics outside on my phone and didn't notice it. I wonder if new Chevys are making mistakes like that.

    Relax guys, it's only a $40K truck. It's not like it's a rolls royce or a ferrari....these are minor imperfections. Stop being such whiny babies. :rolleyes: :stirthepot:

    Toyota gets a lot of hate for all these QC issues on 3rdGens.
    But if Toyota moves back production from Texas to Japan until it troubleshoots all these quality screwups (fender flares mismatch, no grease in Ujoints, etc...), Toyota will get a lot of hate for taking away jobs from Texas.

    That's a tough place to be.

    I would not hate one bit, I would buy a Japan made Tacoma in a heart beat, I think many would feel the same way.
